Four songs under the plug (part 1)
Tribes in Zhou Fan can finish and hunt Yellow River songs at dawn and dusk.
Yan Song is not broken, and the horses are green.
There are many vigorous frontier poems in the Tang Dynasty, but after all, they mainly show the difficulties and dangers of garrison life and the homesickness of soldiers. Even some famous singers are inevitably mixed with words of danger and suffering or sadness. When readers turn to Yi Lee's representative works, they will have a very different feeling and be attracted by the magnificent picture of that day. It is outstanding in expressing the pride of soldiers' lives and reflecting the magnificent scenery in northwest China.
In the poem, "Zhou Fan" refers to the northwest frontier (there was also a Zhou Fan in the Tang Dynasty, which was located in the west of Yishan County, Guangxi, and did not belong to the Yellow River), and "Zhou Fan tribe" refers to the border guards stationed in the Yellow River Hetao ("Yellow River Qu"). The soldiers in the army lived a life of "returning to the jade pass at the age of 20, making the horse policy and facing the knife ring". It was very hard, but it was tempered to be very strong and brave. The first sentence only praises them for being "capable", that is, they are good at dressing up. By describing the heroic attitude of soldiers, the author shows readers that they are good at fighting, so the next sentence is written as "galloping" instead of "being able", and readers can understand it themselves.
Hunting in the army is a routine military training, no more fun than princes. Athletes enjoy it, practice once in the morning and once in the evening, ready to meet the enemy at any time. It is "to report that the Huns are all protected today, and the Huns should not go down to the clouds" (the fourth song in the same group). The action of "Hunting the Yellow River Song at dusk" shows the athletes' impassioned spirit and dedication to the country, as well as their belief in winning. Every sentence is a compliment from the author.
These two sentences mainly describe the characters and their mental outlook, while the last two sentences show the background of the characters' activities. The scenery of the Northwest Plateau is so magnificent: the sky is high and the clouds are light, geese are flying, songs are floating on the vast Yuan Ye, and horses are running in the green grass, which is a vibrant weather.
Some people say that "Yan Ge" sung by recruiters is the tune of "Ge Yanxing". Looking at the flying geese in the distance, there is indeed a deep nostalgia for the hometown of the northern soldiers in the song. However, Hong Fei's Unbroken Yan Ge, a cheerful song, does not contain the singer's love and pride in another place. If this is not obvious in three sentences, there is no doubt about reading the last sentence.
"The horses are green." In the poems praising the scenery in the northwest, it can almost be compared with the strange sentence "the wind blows grass and sees cattle and sheep". This sentence is about the autumn colors on the plateau, so it is even more desolate; The sentence "the horse is hissing" is written in the spring of the plateau, so there is business. The word "green" is very good Because of three or four pairs of knots, the word "Sai Hong Fei" is said above, and the word "grass green" is used below, which shows that the word "green" is verbalized. Not entirely green grass color, but also describes the change of "rambling grass across the plain" from dry to glorious, suggesting that spring has unconsciously returned to the grassland. This and Wang Anshi's famous sentence "The Spring Breeze is Green in Jiang Nanan" all win with the word "green". Jiangnan, spring returns to the earth, birds sing and call. In the spring of Saibei, it is greeted by the joy of horses. The combination of "the grass is green" and "the horse is hissing" has a particularly long meaning; It seems that the grass is greener and more lovely because of Ma Si. The grandeur and lofty sentiments expressed in poetry are very valuable.
Xia Sai Chang Qu Jian
Jade and silk look back at the emperor's hometown, and Wu Sun is not king when he returns.
The war has stopped in remote places, and the smoke of the war has gone away, full of the radiance of the sun and the moon.
Frontier poems are characterized by generous words, fantastic scenery, loyalty to the country or low homesickness. Chang Jian's Song of the Frontier has a unique way and an unusual sound.
This poem neither shows off force nor laments fate, but eulogizes the theme of peace and friendship based on the height of national harmony. In history, the relationship between the central court and all ethnic groups in the western regions has been uncertain and occasionally eased. However, the author chose a beautiful page to praise warmly, so that the bright spring breeze blew away the smoke that filled the moment and gave frontier fortress poetry a brand-new artistic conception.
The first two sentences of the poem are a vivid summary of the friendly exchanges between the Western Han Dynasty court and Wusun nationality. "Jade and silk" refers to the gifts carried during the pilgrimage. Zuo zhuan. After seven years of mourning for the public, it is known as the saying that "the governors of Yu He have done their best to slaughter mountains, and those who hold jade and silk are all countries". Holding jade and silk to court is a sign of guest service submission. The word "Wang" is very emotional. Wu Sun's envoy went home to the west, but he often looked back at Chang 'an, the imperial capital, and couldn't bear to leave, which showed that humanity was profound. "Not Being King" points out that Wusun is obedient and the border is stable. Wusun is a nomadic people living in Ili Valley and a big country in the western countries. According to Hanshu, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the court has been very kind to Wu Sun, and both sides have been answering questions. In order to pacify the western regions and contain the Huns, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty married his eldest daughter twice and entered into a kinship alliance. In the early days (104- 10 1), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty married Princess Wei Liu, the granddaughter of Chu, and gave birth to four men and two women. His children and grandchildren became kings one after another, and his eldest daughter married Queen Qiuci. Since then, Wusun has maintained peaceful and friendly relations with the Han Dynasty for a long time, which has become an eternal story. Chang Jian first eulogized this history with a poem and a pen. Although there are only a few words, he can always use them less. It is really commendable that he is skilled in using a pen and knows its essence.
One or two sentences tell the historical facts and pave the way for the whole poem. Three or four sentences drift with the tide, choppy, flying all over the sky, forming a climax. "Tianya" is connected with "going home", Wusun goes west, horses are full of wheels, and Wan Li is boundless. This vast and boundless space is faintly visible from this word. The word "static" is particularly powerful. The vast desert outside Yumenguan was once a battleground for military strategists, but now it enjoys a peaceful and quiet life. This is a way of writing in which today's peace and past wars are intertwined. It has profound meaning in all places where there are no words, and it is the eye of poetry. The conclusion of the poem is full of energy and the mood is particularly high. The poet painted a brilliant picture with colored pens: the haze of war completely dissipated, and the sun and the moon shone brightly on the world. This ideal realm embodies the lofty ideals of people of all ethnic groups who love peace and oppose war, and is a resounding ode to peaceful reunification.
The "military soul" is still the image of war, and the words are refined. Not only is the word "pin" firmly tied, but it goes straight into the end of the sentence and is linked with "quiet place" to pay for it. Interlocking, singing higher and higher, it is really a cloud. Shen Deqian said that "all sentences are spit out" is well deserved.
Most of Chang Jian's poems were written in Kaiyuan and Tianbao years. In this poem, he praised the people-friendly policy and the ideal of stopping the army caused by the chaotic politics in Tang Xuanzong's later years. It can be said that it is better late than never!
